    What cpu should I pair with a GTX 1080?

    If you will overclock i5 8600k. If not i7 8700. I5 8600k reviews are with oc. Price is similar due to i5 8600k lacks cooler and need z370 mobo and i7 8700 can use h370 or b360 ones.

    Upgrading CPU from G4400 to i3 6100?

    G4400 is 2 c 2 t and I3 6100, I3 7100, G4560, G4600, G4620 are 2c 4t. Any of this are far better than G4400. I3 6100 is sure compatible with your mobo. The other require the F20 bios version. You can see the bios version with CPU-Z program. Update the bios is a risky option. If you not familiar...

    PC Turns On, No Display.

    Ryzen 3 1200 does not have integrated graphic. You cant use mobo hdmi or vga... So you must plug the monitor to graphic card. Check if monitor is set to proper output (hdmi...). If you can try with other monitor (i.e. TV). look at "ez debug led" for knowing more about problem: EZ Debug LED...

    Couple CPU Questions (OC/Upgrade) i5 4960k --> i7 7700k

    if you doubt, update to 7700K because the BIOS is adapted to prevent Meltdown and Specter and for the fourth generation it is not clear when the adaptation come in.

    core 2 duo e4500 to e8400 upgrade

    Your mobo is limited to 2,66 GHz. See Hp specifications. E8400 is a 3,0 GHz. https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-compaq-dx7400-microtower-pc/3459270/document/c01155744 You can see at bios "system information" (first picture you have sent) that the "processor speed is 2,66 ghz" when E8400...

    Some Intel B85 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Haswell Refresh CPUs

    You need a CPU for updating bios due to this Mobo does not have "q-flash plus" gigabyte feature, (only q-flash). With "q-flash" you need memory and cpu (no S.O.). with "q-flash plus" you dont need memory, cpu nor s.o.. I'm sorry.

    Msi H110m uses an 4 pin auxiliar power cable and most of b250 mb use an 8 (2x4) pin auxiliar power cable. Did you change it?

    upgrade the processor on a old pc

    there is only one mobo Brand new that support q8400: ASRock G41C-Gs. But this one uses DD3 memory (not DDr2). Used mobo like P5Q can cost about 50eur in aliexpress or ebay. anyway I would not buy it. even the lowest cpu in the last two years is far better.

    Speedstep (EIST) limits i5 4690k CPU clock speed to 800MHz

    you can find last intel chipset driver in MSI web. find for "MSI Z97 gaming 5" and look at support page for your mobo. I think exists msi utility "live update" that find for any upgrade for your mobo. prior to update the BIOS you can try "load optimitzed values" (or some similar) at BIOS or...
